Preservation Thursday: A Christian History of Deadwood

By Journal staff | Thursday, December 04, 2008

The Rev. Tom Campbell will host a lecture on the history of area churches and religious communities at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, at the Adams Museum, 54 Sherman Street, Deadwood.

Religious organizations played a crucial role in transitioning Deadwood from a raucous mining camp into a stable community, and Campbell will explore the role that founding churches played in Deadwood, as well as the relationship between W.E. Adams, the Adams family and the Episcopal Church.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
